Hey guys, welcome to a new tutorial
today I will show you the 5 worst Backflip fails
and how you can avoid them
Mistake number one is Panic
the most common reason for Backflip fails is fear
many people get panic when they jump up and start to rotate backwards
and the main reason for that panic is
that the body was not prepared good enough for the feeling of rotating backwards
that means you should drill that movement really often
with some preparation exercises like I showed in my Backflip Tutorials
and continue with the preparation
until you feel comfortable with the back rotation
and also find a setup and location where you feel comfortable to reduce the fear as much as possible
use mats, water, sand or let someone spot you
reason number 2 for Backflip fails is a lack of explosive power
that means you have to bild up more explosive muscles in your upper body and legs
to be able to jump high enough and rotate fast enough
you can easily check if you have enough power
just jump up straight
and do a clean tuck without rotating
you should be able to jump up, grab your shins for a moment and than land in a straight position again
when that exercise is easy for you, you have enough power to do a backflip
otherwise the backflip could end like this
a third really common reason for Backflip Fails is
a wrong jumping technique
many people do not jump up straight with fully stretched legs
but jump into the rotation from a squad position
a reason for that mistake is, that you go down to much before jumping up
and do the backflip sequence to hectic
you have to wait with the back rotation until you fully stretched your legs and jumped up from your toes
otherwise you lose a lot of hight
and that gives you less airtime and makes it way harder to land the backflip
Important is the upward impulse, not the downward impulse
many people do the mistake to go down with to much power and that makes it harder to go up again from the low position
try to go down relaxed and that jump up with all the explosive power you have
that's my most important tip for the takeoff
mistake number 4 is hectic
it worked anyway
but that is not how a backflip should look like
Fail number 4 is that you do all parts of the sequence too hectic
and to fast
try to be relaxed and do one step after the other
go down, jump up, tuck, open up and land
and don't try to do everything in the same time
and get it done as fast as possible
that would cause that you lean back to early
the 5th really common reason for Backflip Fails is
that people don't use their arms
the arms are extremely important
for the hight and rotation not only for the backflip but for all flips
so don't forget to use your arms
or it could end up like this
it definitely works worse than with using the arms
look at my arms, they give me the momentum
you guys, I hope you liked my video about the top 5 reasons for backflip fails
of course there are many more possible reasons why the backflip is not working for you
and a lot of little things you can improve to get a cleaner backflip
